Study Abroad Programs

Bellarmine University views study abroad as an ideal venue in support of its mission to help students gain understanding, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. The university seeks to ensure that study abroad is available as an integral component not only for foreign language study but also for all other academic areas as well, and that it is accessible to all students, regardless of social and economic background. Study abroad programs are available to any student who has attended Bellarmine for at least one semester and is in good academic and social standing.

Bellarmine offers a wide variety of study abroad options on six continents in over 60 countries around the globe, ranging from departmental programs to summer enclave programs and semester or academic year exchanges at over 160 partner universities and programs. General information sessions on study abroad are offered during all of the university's orientation sessions, as well as toward the middle of the fall semester.

Further study abroad options are available through a myriad of other programs, although transfer of credit and financial aid cannot be guaranteed for such programs. Information about these opportunities can be found on the Study Abroad bulletin board in Frazier Hall, at the Office for Study Abroad & International Learning in McGowan Hall (CNMH 280), and through sites such as studyabroad.com, goabroad.com, or studyabroad101.com.
